RE: [T3] Is this possible

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

The Porsche 914 engine is commonly known as the Type IV since it's origins
are VW (it's used in the Type IV sedan and in the later Type II Bus).

Yes, a T4 engine will fit but stick with a VW tranny.  A VW tranny built for
hp fill cost 1/2 as much as a stock 914 tranny and you won't have to worry
about a new linkage system.  If you want to go with a 5-speed then contact
Gene Berg Enterprises (http://www.geneberg.com).  There are plenty of
after-market places where you can get a T4 engine, built stock or for
all-out racing -- your wallet is the only limiting factor :)  Just make sure
your tranny can take the abuse if you go for a built-up engine!
